3 Learning Objectives The learner will be able to: Describe the formative program evaluation process used to systematically determine how students clinical documentation in an ECTS meets national core competencies. Apply supporting evidence of students clinical documentation in an ECTS to meet Family/Across the Lifespan NP Competencies.

4 Background ECTS use in APRN education 12 Documentation of students clinical experiences Faculty track documentation of students clinical experiences Support for ECTS use Institute of Medicine (IOM) 9 Technology Informatics Guiding Education Reform (TIGER) 10

5 Background NONPF Core Competencies in APRN education 11 Entry level expertise Population focused core competencies FNP Programs Foci Competency Areas 11 Leadership Independent Practice

6 Literature Review Paucity of research in the literature One integrative review 8 Evaluated Technology and Information Literacy

7 Formative Program Evaluation Inputs Activities and Outputs Outcomes Impacts ECTS Documentation of students clinical experiences Core Competencies Leadership and Independent Practice Process of reviewing and matching ECTS documentation to Core Competencies and developing a side-by-side grid Evaluation of ECTS documentation of students clinical experiences to meet Core Competencies Discussion of how ECTS documentation meets Core Competencies

8 Competency Evaluation Directly Met Evidence is objectively documented in ECTS Indirectly Met Requires evaluation by preceptor and/or faculty to support the objective documentation of the student as appropriate and accurate Not Met ETCS does not support objective documentation, requires other methods of evaluation
